Lockheed WP - 3D-Orion N43RF

The above aircraft of the US Office of Marine & Aviation Operation is circling near Shannon. Also Known as Miss Piggy.
Would like to see this aircraft. Believe it is used for Hurricane observations.

It diverted into Dublin after two missed approaches due to fog at Shannon!!

Correction. Registration was N42RF. They have two Orion Hurricane Hunters. This is nicknamed Kermit the Frog, and the other Miss Piggy.
